We are interested in the dynamics of an aerosol, that is a cloud of fine particles immersed in an ambient fluid. Starting with a description by the Vlasov-Navier-Stokes system, we will show that in a certain high friction limit, the aerosol can be well described by the inhomogeneous incompressible Navier-Stokes system. This is a joint work with David Michel.
